This week Asus launched the Zenfone 8 Flip flagship phone alongside a compact version, which sport very different camera tech and specs - although both are powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888, ideal for gaming. My Zenfone 8 review goes live tomorrow and here's a summary of how it compares vs the Flip smartphone.

My unboxing of the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra and Realme 8 5G also went live this week, offering your choice of premium or budget phone tech. That Axon 30 Ultra in particular is striking with its angular design and quad camera setup.

However, that's only the start of the tech launches. Asus was back at it with its ROG reveal, where the new Zephyrus M16 and ROG Zephyrus S17 gaming laptops were unveiled. Dell also shared its Alienware m15 R6, updated XPS 15 and 17 for 2021, etc. All of these sporting Intel's 11th Gen mobile processors and RTX 30 series GPUs.

Here's hoping next week ain't as mental! Check out my Asus Zenfone 8, ZTE Axon 30 Ultra, Realme 8 5G and Vive Pro 2 coverage here on Tech Spurt.
